GEMMAEarly that morning, before the sun would even decide to rise, we made our way toward Ragnarok's territory. It was raining cats and dogs, literally sheets. It was biting cold, but no one spoke a word of complaint. We had to be quiet.We were approaching the territory. Matteo, Astra, Nic, Nora, and the others moved in silence. I pulled my cloak tighter around me as I felt the cold trying to seep into my bones. The road was slick with mud but my boots were holding firm.After we crossed the territory, we would find horses that we could ride to where Ragnarok was staying. We successfully snuck past the border guards up to where the horses were tied to trees.The horses galloped along the path, navigating it. They seemed to know the road well. They must have plied it dozens of times.I caught a glimpse of Astra in front, of one of the people leading the team. Her shoulders were hunched against the rain. She must be battling against the cold as well but she couldn't show it. She was t

GEMMAI stood on the balcony of Nate's office, gazing out at the courtyard. We had returned from the meeting immediately last night. Nate and George are finalizing the details now. They had agreed to provide men. He was picking off the soldiers that would accompany us to the Northern Territory.My mind went to Matteo and Astra, who were likely just as busy with their preparations. After a while, the door to the office opened and Nate walked in. He closed the door behind him.“I’ve selected the soldiers who will accompany Astra,” he began,“They’re some of the best we have to offer—loyal and experienced. But, I can’t convince you not to go, can I?”I shook my head, a small smile on my lips. “You know me too well, Nate. I’m going, and there’s nothing you can say to change my mind.”He sighed, rubbing a hand over his face. “I figured as much. But that doesn’t mean I have to like it.”“I know,” I said gently, walking closer to him. “But this is what I need to do. We’re all in this togethe

GEMMAThe sky was darkening as we made our way to the northern border. We were going to have a final meeting with Astra's allies before we set out for the main plan. Nate and George tagged along.As our car pulled over, I realized how cold it was here. The cold air bit at my skin. I pulled my cloak tighter around me. I was trying to chase the cold but it was close to impossible.Nate led the way. He had an unreadable look on his face as he led us into the building. It belonged to him. Or at least, it belonged to him because he was King. It had belonged to Nate's ancestors, the ones that had existed long before us. Yet, this building still stood.It had also been where Astra was meeting most of her allies. This was like neutral ground. Although, it had been abandoned for years. It was still a hidden place from spying eyes. The palace wasn't the place for that.George, surprisingly, was carrying a dagger in his belt. He said, "You can never be too prepared." He was a wolf but he needed

GEMMAI left the room in search of Nate and George. They had almost made it to Nate's office when I intercepted them."Let's talk," I said, stopping in front of him.He had a neutral expression on his face. "There is nothing to talk about. Everything concerning Astra has led us to disagree or fight. I'm not up for that, thanks." He stepped around me and kept walking.I let out a sound of frustration and followed after him. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I didn't think it was important." I said. He stopped walking and I stopped with him.He gave me a look. "That's the problem, Gemma. You didn't think!" He snapped. "Someone from the North snuck into the palace and you didn't think to tell me? Oh, please, I've heard better excuses."I've never seen Nate lose his hat like that. Maybe he was still getting over the initial shock of his mother being attacked by an intruder so many weeks ago. It was valid but he didn't have to talk to me like that.He must have seen the look on my face because

GEMMA"Hello, Lady Gemma," he said, with a little difficulty. Nate's gaze moved back to me. His grip on Matteo was still firm."Matteo, you're here again," I said, my voice betraying my surprise more than I had intended. My eyes darted between Nate and George unaware of that Matteo had snuck in the last time."You know him?" George asked, his brows furrowed in confusion."Not really," I said. George and Nate exchanged glances, their eyes narrowing as they watched Matteo.Before they could press further, Astra entered the room, her eyes widening as she took in the scene in front of her. "Matteo?" She called. "What's going on?"Nate reluctantly let go of him and he landed on his feet, coughing slightly and rubbing his neck. "Who is this?" Nate demanded.I shifted uncomfortably and looked pointedly at Astra, urging her to answer. She forced a smile as she stepped forward. "Alpha King Nate, Beta George, this is Matteo, my best friend and most trusted confidant," she introduced him.Matteo

GEMMAI barely managed to get enough sleep last night, but staying in Nate's arms was helpful. I just couldn’t shake off the feeling that we were on borrowed time. From all I've heard about the leader of the north, he wasn’t exactly the type to sit idle, doing nothing. It was fishy.When morning came, Nate kissed me and returned to his room, albeit reluctantly. I got out of bed and prepared for the day.As I was dressing up, there was a knock on the door. I was expecting it to be Nate or maybe Astra but, when I was permitted to enter, it was a palace guard. He stepped in and bowed respectfully.“Lady Gemma, I have a message from a representative of the north. He has asked for only your presence, quietly." He said.My heart skipped a beat. Ragnarok's first move… I quickly composed myself and nodded to the guard."Lead the way," I was already ready so I followed him out of the room and closed the door behind me.He took me towards the front of the palace, where guests usually waited.

GEMMAThe first thing I felt was the cold. It seeped through my clothes, making me shiver. I opened my eyes, but all I saw was darkness. It was so thick that it felt like a group of people were surrounding me.I tried to move, but I couldn't. My hands were bound tightly behind my back, and my ankle

NATE"Gemma…" I let out, gripping my wounds. These attackers had used wolfsbane in their weapons.A cold fury settled over me as they dragged Gemma away. I stood with anger, forgetting my pains for a while. I fought off the attackers surrounding me, tearing my way through to her."Gemma!" I screame

GEMMAI started with my breath held as George checked his pulse. If this man died, it would be on me.George shook his head with a sigh. "No, he's still alive." He replied.I exhaled in relief. "Thank the moon goddess," I said with a gasp.He and Leonard made to untie his ropes to free him. "I'll g

GEMMAThe guards kicked into action, chasing after him. I ran after the crowd, Leonard right beside me. I glanced at him. I had sprained my ankle when the ground had been shaking and I tried to hide it.He noticed. "Go," I instructed. "I'll be fine." He picked up the pace and left me behind.I slow
